RE lanyards should be blue. Are you sure it is red?

I looked again the lanyard.I think that the colour has faded,it looks like grey but some threads at some point are indeed blue.If it wasn't blue, is it a problem for my jacket?Thanks for your interest!

Lanyards are a specialist subject which has not been studied and there are so many variations that pretty much anything goes, so no problem. I have a Royal Fusiliers SD tunic with two lanyards on it, so who knows what that is about, one is a pistol lanyard and the other is very dark blue.
